I'm Kylea' & I'm from Texas(:

I am a military girlfriend.I have promised to be here for him upon his return, no matter how long he is away. People may say I am insane for making such a commitment with no quarentees, but i hold onto our promises and have faith that he will come home safe to me. I know full well that my love for him fuels him in the worst of times.There is no ring on my finger to symbolize our commitment, though I love him no less forit. I hope every day that he will be able to call because a simple 30-second phone call can bring the greatest spectrum of emotions...smiling with tears in my eyes from so much joy and pain. My relationship is based on brief communication where "I love you and I'm okay" speaks more than volumes and gives me the strength to keep going. I am a military girlfriend,not a spouse or family member.When you say your prayers for the wives,mothers,and fathers, please dont forget about me too.

Dear civilian girl,

You complain that your boyfriend has worked late all week and have barely seen him.
-I look forward to the two weeks a year we spend together.
You complain because he doesn't call you enough.
-My heart is thankful for the 15 second phone call I got in the middle of the night!
You whine to your friends about how much you miss him already because he is on a two day trip with his parents.
-I won't see him for another 10 months!
You don't feel like making love tonight because you are too tired.
-We will stay up all night because we don't know when it will be the last time.
Your boyfriend belongs to you.
-Mine belongs to the government.
Your boyfriend is training for his game next weekend.
-My boyfriend is trained to kill.
It's just not practical for you to drive an hour to see him every weekend during school.
-He spends $700 dollars on a plane ticket just to see me 2 days!
You hate hanging up the phone when talking to him.
-My heart breaks because I won't talk to him for another 10 days.
You complain that he doesn't take enough time out of his life for you.
-My man has to get up in the middle of the night to talk with me because of the time difference. He doesn't complain.
Your man is in a bad mood from not sleeping much this week.
-My man ran 10 miles this morning at 4 in the morning and has a full day of
work ahead of him. He's lucky if he gets a few hours of sleep!
Your boyfriend can call in sick when he is tired or not feeling well.
-My man works no matter what!
You don't trust him so you follow him places to see if he is telling the truth.
-I have no choice but to trust him and even then I trust him with my life.
You don't like him talking so sexually with his friends.
-My boyfriend has to chant it in drills.
You check your phne, see you missed a call from him, and decide to call him back when you aren't so busy.
-I see a missed a call and cry, because I don't know when he can call again.
You might save a cute voice message from him.
-I save them all b/c it helps me to remember what his voice sounds like.
Being apart for a month to you seems daunting.
-A month apart for me is a wish that can't come true.
You wouldn't change schools to be close to him.
-I have to move to another country to be with him.
You have every part of him memorized.
-I study pictures so I don't forget what he looks like.
You take your time together for granted.
-We don't!
Your cell phone bill was high this month from talking too much.
-He pays 20 cents a minute to call meâ€¦ when he CAN call.
You love that fancy necklace he bought you
-I refuse to take his dog tags off, and not a day goes by that I don't have them on...
You say you miss him.
-Times that by 20.

He is my world, my everything...
we do everything together, and have so many memories,
and many MANY more to come....

Stupid Things People Say to Military gf's,fiancees, wives etc..

1. "Aren't you afraid that he'll be killed?"
(This one ranks in at
number one on the "duh" list. Of course we're afraid. We're terrified. The
thought always lingers at the backs of our minds ---but thanks brilliant, you just brought it back to the front. Maybe next you can go ask
someone with cancer if they're scared of dying.)

2. "I don't know how you manage. I don't think I could do it."
(This is
intended to be a compliment. Though, it's just a little annoying. Here's why: it's not like all of us military wives have been dreaming since childhood of the day we'd get to be anxious to sleep alone and bring our cell phones with us to the bathroom and in the shower. We're not made of some mysterious matter that makes us more capable, we just got asked to take on a challenging job. So we rose to the challenge and found the strength to make sacrifices.)

3. "At least he's not in Iraq."
(This is the number one most annoying comment for those whose husbands are in other countries. What do they think is happening in the countries surrounding? An international game of golf?)

4. "Do you think he'll get to come home for
Christmas/anniversary/birthday/birth of a child/wedding/family reunion, etc?"
(Don't you watch the news? Yes because they have so much free time on there hands they can jump on a plane and fly home whenever they please. Uhm, They don't get to come home for any of these things. Please don't ask again.)

5. "What are you going to do to keep yourself busy while he's gone?"
(Short answer: Try to keep my sanity and not punch you in the face)

6. "How much longer does he have until he can get out?"
(This one is annoying to many of us whether our husbands are deployed or not. Many of our husbands aren't counting down the days until they "can" get out. Many of them keep signing back up again and again because they actually love what they do)

7. "This deployment shouldn't be so bad, now that you're used to it."
(Sure, we do learn coping skills and its true the more deployments you've gone through, the easier dealing with it becomes. And we figure out ways to make life go smoother while the guys are gone. But it never gets "easy" and the bullets and bombs don't skip over our guys just because they've been there before. The worry never goes away.)

8. "My husband had to go to Europe for business once for three weeks. I totally know what you're going through."
(This one is similar to number two. Do not equate your husband's three week trip to London/Omaha/Tokyo/etc. with a 12-15 month or more deployment to a war zone. Aside from the obvious time difference, nobody shot at your husband or tried to blow him up with an I.E.D., your husband could call home pretty much anytime he wanted to, he flew comfortably on a commercial plane, slept between crisp white sheets and ate well, paying for everything with an expense account. There is no comparison. We do not feel bonded to you in the slightest because of this comment and, if anything, we probably resent you a bit for it. Comparing a 12 month combat deployment to a few weeks business trip is like comparing a Ford Taurus with a Mercedes convertible.)

9. "Wow you must miss him?"
(This one also gets a big "duh". Of course we miss our men. There are some wives who do not and they're now divorced.)

10. "Where is he exactly? Where is that?"
(I don't expect non-military
folks to be able to find Anbar Province on a map, but they should know by now that it's in a sandy hot terrible place. Likewise, know that Our country has been at war in Afghanistan for seven years and at war in Iraq for five years. These basic facts are not secrets; they're on the news every night and in the papers every day, and on maps everywhere.)

11. "Well, he signed up for it, so it's his own fault whatever happens over there.
(Yes, ignorant, he did sign up. Each and every day he protects your right to make stupid comments like that. He didn't sign up and ask to be hit by anything; he signed up to protect his country. Oh, and by the way, he asked me to tell you that "You're welcome." He's still fighting for your freedom.)

12. "Don't you miss sex? I couldn't do it!"
(hmmm, no I don't miss sex.
I'm a robot. seriously...military spouses learn quickly that our relationships must be founded on something greater than sex. We learn to appreciate the important things, like simply hearing their voices, seeing their faces, being able to have dinner together every night. And the hard truth is most relationships probably couldn't withstand 12 months of
sex deprivation.)

13. "Well in my opinion....."
(Stop right there. I didn't ask for you your personal political opinions. Hey, I love a heated political debate, but not in the grocery store, not in Jamba Juice, not at Nordstrom, not in a bar when I'm out with my girls trying to forget the war, and CERTAINLY NOT AT WORK. We tell co-workers about deployments so when we have to spend lunch hours running our asses off doing errands and taking care of the house, dog, and kids, they have an understanding. We do not tell co-workers and colleagues because we are giving an invitation to ramble about politics or because we so eagerly want to hear how much they hate the President, esp. while we're trying to heat up our lean cuisines in the crappy office microwaves.)

Last but not least....

14. "OH, that's horrible...I'm so sorry!"
(He's doing his job and he's a badass. Don't be sorry. Be appreciative and please take a moment out of your comfortable American lives to realize that our soldiers fight the wars abroad so those wars stay abroad.)

If you want to say anything, say thank you.

But in the end all of us women put up with this crap not cuz we want to but cuz we love our guys & there's no doubts 'bout that!!!

I LOVE TOMMY MILES TAYLOR!
